Does Mayweather Really Have A Chance Against Tsyzu?

[DLT]

Allthough it is nice to see Floyd more offensive in recent fights that may not be a good thing for Floyd. He was hit with some big shots against Corley, shots that he can't afford to get hit with by Zoo. I understand he will fight that fight differently but he needs to remember why he is as good as he is and it is not because of his offense.

Floyd will kill Diego...I maybe the biggest Diego hater on this board, I think he is way overblown...his power is definately legit but against a mover (Frietas doesn't count)he looks out of his element. If Diego fought Casamayor 10 times he would lose 8 of them...in the second fight he did not look like a puncher at all-he hung on by the hairs of his chinny chin chin to win that one-it could have gone either way.

Diego will be punished against JL.

I disagree when people say that his D will suffer from being more offensive. The Corley fight isnt a good indicator. Chop is a left hand crouch fighter. You heard Merchant say that Floyd struggels with lefties. I dont think Spinks will give him that much problem because he's more straight up when he's fighting and Mitchell leans back. Chop was crouched over. The only time he shook Floyd was once when Floyd was swinging at the same time and he beat Floyd to the punch. Thats why Floyd was shook. Most fighters would be hurt in that situation. The other time Chop hit him was when he had a perfect Defense. He was in his defensive stance and had his glove on the side of his face but Chop still hit him square in the mouth. Why? Because he was a leftie. They shock you because either you dont see the punch or you see it and have a perfect D and they still hit you in the mouth. When Jones got KO by Tarver he had a perfect D but because Tarver was a leftie he still hit him on the chin and it shocked him. Barrera stepped back perfectly against Pac like he always does and Pac still hit him on the chin because he is a leftie, and because you dont see it or you see it and still cant stop it, it makes the punch hurt even more. Even if Floyd is more offensive he still wont get hit with big punches against a right hander, like he didnt against N'Dou

That's a good question.

I don't know if Floyd has it in him to give that type of performance again. I also think he could be quite overconfident, which would be dangerous against a one-punch killer like Chico.

How would Corrales approach a rematch ? Is it possible he'd be unable to get past the way he was OWNED in the first fight ? Is he still owned by Floyd ?

I think PBF ownes Chico, there has to be a rematch soon, I still think PBF will win but I just want for chico to land a big shot that will KD PBF

Why would Floyd have to fight Mitchell first. Who the hell is he. Floyd has already proven himself and is a #for# fighter. People give Zoo to much credit for beating him. Who has Mitchell ever beat and he was KO by Stevie Johnston. After he lost to Zoo he beat bums and everyone tried to make it seem like he was the best besides Zoo. Look at who he beat after Zoo: Tackie after Zoo beat him, old Vince Phillips, Vilches, N'Dou who was a journeyman and many thought won, and a couple of other bums. He was a fraud and Zoo gets to much credit for that win

the only reason I say that PBF should fight Mitchell first is to see if he has what it takes to beat K.T. Sharmba is no push over and if mayweather can do what Kostya did to S. Mitchell it might help build up his confidence. Who knows maybe PBF is nerves or scared to fight K.T., who really knows? But if he sees himself doing the same thing that K.T. did to Mitchell then expect that PBF will fight K.T. soon, hell K.T. still has 3 other fights, DLH, PBF, Hatton and someone else I think Chico

What makes you think Floyd is scared of Zoo. Thats plain ******. He wanted to jump straight from 135 to 154 to fight Oscar but you think he's scared of Zoo. Oscar said that he wouldnt fight him because of his father. Why would Floyd be scared of Zoo. He respects him but he definatly isnt afraid of him. Gatti is the big money PPV fight and he aint fighting anyone until he gets that fight

Floyd hasn't done **** all at 140. I don't care that he has beaten everyone at lightweight...that doesn't mean anything. At 140, he's beaten corley...yay...good for him. He was even hurt in that fight (although he did regain his composure excellently). However, if Tszyu catches him with that straight right, which he will eventually, then it won't matter how strong Floyd's chin is...he will go down.

Based on their last fights, then KT destroys Floyd (who happens to be one of my favourite fighters). I'd like to see Floyd step up the competition first before challenging Tszyu.

[scramwarrior]

I'm guessin Floyd will keep winning rounds on points with his quickness until KT catches him with a few good shots and puts him down for the TKO.

My prediction about this fight is that Mayweather will win via decision if he can avoid Tszyu's right hand. But if he cant do that, it will be a short night.

[oldgringo]

Thank god...I've seen less of the, "Mayweather will be on his bicycle all night until Tszyu catches his with the right hand and sends him to the morgue" talk.

Mayweather pulls out a narrow UD in this fight, possibly having to pull himself off the canvas to do it. Tszyu and Mayweather would both have to use their whole bag of tricks in order to make progress on the other fighter. Mayweather would need to bank the early rounds, I don't see Mayweather being hit by multiple bombs...if he does then Tszyu will get a nice KO victory. I think Mayweather can eat 1-2 of those big right hands though.

Floyd has only had one fight at 140. He's a undefeated #for# guy. Why the **** does he have to prove himself when he has accomplished more then everyone their. If you think Floyd's chin is weak then your crazy. What about Zoo getting KTFO. Your ****** for saying if you go by their last fight. Every fight is different and Floyd won every round against Chop and dropped him twice anyway. Chico killed Gainer and Floyd struggeled with Augustus and everyone said did you see what happened in their last fights. Chico will kill him. Well, we all know what happened in that one. Zoo doesnt do as well against right handers as he does against lefties and he's hit alot of fighters and they didnt go down so what makes everyone think that as soon as Zoo hits Floyd that he will just crumble like a baby. Give the man his respect. He's a unbeaten #for# champ and aint no one just going to walk through him

[freirui]

Zoo would knock Mayweather out!
